Schlumberger Introduces new generation surface multiphase Flowmeter

Schlumberger has released the Vx Spectra surface multiphase flowmeter, which is the latest generation of multiphase flowmeters for offshore and land applications. The new multiphase flowmeter enables operators to obtain flow rate measurements in production testing and permanent monitoring.

The new flowmeter uses full gamma spectroscopy to provide the highest accuracy in multiphase production measurement. The flowmeter introduces two new venturi throat sizes adapted to an extended range of flow rates. The Vx Spectra 19mm monitors low-rate producing wells down to 30 bbl/d, and the 40mm venturi version introduces a mid-range multiphase meter with high flexibility to match oil and gas production flow rates. Modular design configurations offer easy integration with operators’ production facilities.
